I have used every version of Foxit Reader for over 2 years - no problems
I also put it on every PC I am asked to build/delouse/sort out ......... rather than the resource-hungry Adobe Reader, and have never had any adverse feedback from anyone about it. It gets my endorsement -------------------- "Universally challenged ! " ![]() "64k ought to be enough for anybody" - Bill Gates (1981) ![]() |

I am not the one recommending it - I just provide update information. I am perfectly happy with Adobe Reader, Thanks for providing the update info Pat However, the fact that you do this service, implies to me that you are recommending the program. It seems that is NOT the case, and I now feel misguided by that. I had always supposed by telling us about updates in general, you were in fact suggesting we use/try such programs. I shall remember that in future I think I have to explain... I do not not recommend the software. I do not use it, but I know that a number of forum regulars use it, and like it (and recommend it). It is therefore when an update comes to my attention, I will make it known here. I would not, of course, publish any update information on symantec and other malware. -------------------- ![]() Doraemon - the robot cat from the future. |

Pat Willener, maybe you should add a disclaimer, like: "Information about this update does not necessarily mean the poster uses or recommends the software."

Disclaimer 2: I hear that Foxit 3.0 now contains the much dreaded Ask toolbar (spyware); see this post in the Foxit forum http://forums.foxitsoftware.com/...post23348
It appears that they offer 3 different downloads
The ZIP file apparently does not contain the toolbar. -------------------- ![]() Doraemon - the robot cat from the future. |

Thanks. If you are observant the tool bar etc can be avoided.

I dont use it. The toolbar or Foxit? I like Foxit. Recently started using it after disagreeing with Adobe's piece of rubbish I thought I would give it a try. -------------------- See above for my post... Vista is the begining of the END. Go Open source...! |

I use the Evince Document Viewer, which is part of the Ububtu package. It is perfectly adequate. It opens all .pdf files etc. I used to use Foxit on W98SE.
